AND CONTROL

The level in the tank is read by a level sensor device, which transmits
the information on to the controller.
The controller compares the level reading with the desired level or set
point and then computes a corrective action.
The controller output adjusts the control valve, referred to as the final
control element.
The valve percent opening has been adjusted to correct for any
deviations from the set point.
Typical levels are 20–100 kPa (or 3–15 psi) for pneumatic signals,
a 4–20 mA current loop that is often converted to 1–5 V for analog
electronic signals and binary digits or bits for digital signals.
